How can I connect the UART pins on the DE10 nano to the USB mini-B connector?

Hi,

I am not really sure what is the problem, are you using the pre-built image for to boot up your device or is this your own design?

Was there any error during the preloader/uboot bootup?

[TKerk3]

Hi,

I am currently using the pre-built image to boot up my device. I didn't have any errors while running my Eclipse program

Hi,

Please refer here for full booting procedure using our prebuilt images to boot up correctly:
